OF CALGARY
OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY
New doctoral and masters programs ready to roll this Fall
.new doctoral degree in history and
a Masters of Law degree will be offered at
the U of C this September. The Board of
Governors approved both new degrees at
the April 20 board meeting.
Both degrees received provincial
government approval on the grounds that
no new budget money will be required.
The history department and law faculty
will have to reallocate funds for the programs.
The history degree will specialize
in Canadian history and military/diplomatic history. A maximum of ten to 15
students will be accepted into the program by the fourth year of implementation.
The Faculty of Law will offer a
Masters Program specializing in natural
resources and energy law. Again, the new
program, which will include only two
students in the first year, will be implemented without additional funds. It is
projected that ten students will be enroled in the law program by the sixth year.
In other business, the board approved the amount of income available
for the general endowment accounts
committee at the level of $1.1 million for
the 1989-90 year.
This year, general endowment income will fund the Humanities Institute;
the Killam Resident Fellowships; the Spedal
Projects Fund; the Distinguished Lecturers Series; the Publications Fund; Killam
Visiting Scholars; short-term visiting
scholars; thesis research grants; graduate
student conference travel grants; the Killam Memorial Chair; international education activities; the international Centre;
the University Press; the Institute for
Computer Assisted Learning; Academic
Computing Services; the Craigie Memorial Scholarship; and Canada Research
Fellows.
Peter Krueger, vice-president (academic) told the board some of the programs funded through the general endowment incomeshould be moved into
the university's operating budget He
said groups like the Humanities Institute, the International Centre and the
University Press, are ongoing, stable
entities that should be funded through
the operating budget Dr. Krueger said
moving programs like these out of general endowment funding will allow more
freedom for the allocation of money to
new enrichment projects.
The board received for information a report from Brian Tinker, vice-
president (finance and services) about
the progress of the university's study
of daycare. Dr. Tinker said the committee has now chosen three suitable sites
for daycare facilities on campus. The
sites are to the north of Scurfield Hall;
between the LRT station and Biological
Sciences; and near the married students
housing complex. The committee is still
seeking provincal government approval
on a building design, and is actively
seeking government and private funding for daycare facilities.
Dr. Tinker also reported that the
operations and finance committee has set
new rates for campus parking. Effective
July 1,1989, assigned permits in serviced
lots will increase to $300 from $276 last
year; unserviced lots will increase to $225
from $207; Art Parkade yearly passes will
be $390 and monthly passes will be $50, up
from $360 and $40 this year; pay per entry
lots and evening parking will increase
from $1.65 to $1.75.
Dr. Tinker added that starting this
September, people parking at McMahon
stadium will have to buy permits that will
cost $40 per four-month term.
He added that as the university
continues to grow, the issue of more parking spaces will have to be considered
carefully.
"We are reaching the stage where
further surface parking is impossible, so
we'll need more parking structures to
increase capacity in the future," he said.
